Spray painting MDF

June 2016

Hi All,

I am totally new to this site and have only actually been in Australia a few months.

I am looking to spray paint MDF furniture with 2 pac paint. I have painted MDF previously but that was a few years ago in South Africa. The paint was a 2K product by Luxor but I have no idea what is available in Melbourne.

Does anyone here know what products are available including the primmer and where to get them?

Thanks for the warm welcome. I went past a paint shop today that recommended wattyl colourthane. It sounded like the correct thing but they were not sure about the details as they don't sell it very often.

@Andy_Mann thanks for the link, it is not what I am looking for but did answer my question of whether or not Bunnings stocks 2K paint.

I will be using the Airwave 50Lt compressor I bought from Bunning to provide the air and using the spray gun provided in the kit. Just need to find a paint shop that knows about this stuff. I will try automotive paint shops as that is what I used previously and will report back.
